I am trying to delete a recurring appointment and receive this error:
The event could not be deleted due to an error: Cannot remove calendar object: Failed with E2K HTTP status 8
How do I delete this appointment?
Thanks,
Harry

Have you imported Google Calendar into evolution?

If so delete it from there.

These are old appointments defined in evolution. They are not imported for Google.

Hi,

Try this:
- create a new calendar named temp
- right click on the calendar that contains the appointment > "Save as ..."
- save it on the desktop as temp.ics
- edit temp.ics
- search (CTRL + F) the summary of the appointment
- delete all lines between the first "BEGIN:VEVENT" located before the summary and the first "END:VEVENT" after the summary
- save
- double click on temp.ics, it will open Evolution import assistant
- select the calendar "temp" then click next
- check if the appointment was deleted, if yes, delete the old calendar, rename temp to your old calendar.

PS: to avoid problems, make a copy of temp.ics before edit it.

Can you help with this problem?
